How long does the small canister of propane gas last on this grill?

Hard to answer...if you are doing a couple of steaks at a time you might get 3/4 uses out of the tank. If doing longer time items probably less. I always keep a spare tank of two on hand just in case.

Sorry, I'm using a regular 20lb tank and I have yet to run out. I've had it for quite a while.

Not long enough. We purchased a 12 lbs. tank and hose so we could have lots of gas and reduce the cost of operation. Those little cans are expensive compared to refilling the larger tank at a much lower price. The grill is great so buy it and then get a refillable tank.

I have my tank 8 feet away from the burner, as for the propane consumption a full 20 lb tank lasted me about 9-10 hours

It uses propane just like your grill. It uses very little fuel. I can get four 9 hours smokes out of a tank and still have some left over.. I love mine. The cabinet design and pull out shelves make it a breeze to use. Very well made except the lags are flimsy. You don't dare drag it as the legs will buckle. Lift to move.

Propane gas grilling, using propane gas tanks or canisters, is an outdoor activity, and is not something to try indoors. Although some people have used propane grills in their kitchens and garages, this is not advisable. The ideal location for grilling is outdoors in a well-ventilated area such as a patio, driveway or similar areas that are open to the fresh air and away from a building or any other flammable material.There have been several news reports over the past few years in which people had burned their homes down, or died by suffocation, when using an un-vented, or improperly vented, propane cooking or heating devices.

The flavorizer bars are breaking down, but that is not bad for 6 1/2 years. Also, i could probably replace the grate, but it still works. The burner looks fine, particularly for 6 1/2 years. On a cheap grill, i probably would have already gone through several burners. THe only thing I really have a problem with is the steel cabinet under the grill.

don't no the gallons but it will last about 5x longer than the small grill tanks

The gas tank holds 1.1 gallon of gas. Ours ran for almost 11 hours on one tank.

Hi Michael, it is propane. I have had mine for over a year now and it's holding up great. I have had top of the line Weber's in the past, but in my opinion this is the best grill I have ever bought. Very versatile and surprisingly sturdy and durable despite the lower price point. I use mine 2-3 times a week 365 days (califonia) I have been very happy with the performance.

I have left it without using it for over 6 months and it has worked fine , that is, it did not seem to loose any Butane. We had a power outage and needed to use the cooker for several days and the can held up for 3 to 4 hours of cooking (on varied settings - high, low, medium etc.). It is warrantied for several years of shelf-life. I realize that this is not exactly what you asked but that's the best I've got. Hope it helps. For the record, I am very satisfied with the unit and would buy it again if the need arose.

A propane canister doesn't come with it. You need to buy either a coleman fuel canister or the adapter for a larger propane tank. I highly recommend the adapter as even running two coleman canisters on low you'll run through them in 5-8 hours.

The paint finish they use makes it a breeze. As we all find out over the years, the trick is to clean it after every use when it cools down. The first three or four times I didn't and it still was no problem. I did use a grease cutter. Cleaned the lid and all other parts in five to seven minutes using newspaper liberally to wipe up with. Honestly this is a very portable little grill.

I installed this unit last February. I have a 375 gal tank and home only uses gas for the Rinnai and my home furnace. Over the summer/fall when my furnace is not in use, the gauge barely moves on my tank. My best guess is that a 20 lb tank would last 2 months. Consider what fittings and connections you might need because the typical 20 fitting for a grill might not give you enough flow for the Rinnai.

About 4-6 hours. I usually only place a half bottle so that it burns out rather than leaving unspent fuel in the unit.

I purchased my propane frig this past year and used it for 3 four day weekends and a two week camping trip and have not yet run out the 25lb tank figure a total of three weeks+. I have been told that it would last a little over a month of camping with the 25lb tank. I would guess you would get about six to eight weeks roughly with a 35lb tank. Please note the unit runs coldest when it is on propane, there is no temperature setting for propane, so if you put vegies in it they will freeze over a few days. Lastly if the unit is "not level" then it will run less efficiently. Hope this helps.

Both the people I know who actually own this grill have gotten themselves the adapter (with hose) that lets you use refillable "20 pound" (and other sizes) propane tanks. There is plenty of room on the bottom rack for a tank this size. This way only the fairly compact (and flexible) hose is dangling from the connection port behind the timer. (And, by the way, WHY did they make timer only capable of 99 minutes time?)

I've kept mine going for 14hrs straight with a low temp and maybe a half full load of lump coal. The trick is getting the grill just up to temp and not over shooting at the start. I like to use small pieces, I will start a few pieces over the gas grill side burner and lay those on top and very slowly bring the temperature up to 220°-250°.

Well I don't have a gas stove, but I have a gas grill out of doors... on that it took about 10 minutes. Results may vary though; its not an exact science
